Monday the 16th of August will reveal the Seawind Whitsunday Bareboat Open Day. Featuring a display of 15 premium bare boat vessels and two fashion parades it is the ideal way for sailors and shore crew in the Meridien Marina's Airlie Beach Race Week to kick off their 'lay-day'.

The expected sunny day conditions will provide a perfect backdrop to the day. In a feast of cruising craft and fashion, everyone is invited to the free event and find out what on earth a 'bare boat' is.

The fashion parades at 10.00am and midday are themed Beach, Boat and Bay and include rleading international and local fashion and nautical brands, along with a bit of fun.
